Spotlight on our Members

Ruth Reiner

Ruth Reiner is a Quebec-based psychologist and marital and family therapist. Although she enjoys writing and public presentations, her heart will always be with her clinical practice in Montreal where she resides.

Divorce, dips, dives and daffodils, Ruth Reiner's new novel, is about resiliency and self-acceptance.  Deceptively simple and easy to read, it is built upon layers of depth.  It's a travel guide around the limits of life, and an inspiration for the replacement of broken dreams.Written primarily from a woman's point of view, its chapters take you through vignettes of the separation process: How do we manage that first night with a new man?  How does love for our children collide with resentment of the ex?  How do we transfer longing, shame and fear into a new gym membership?  And finally, how do we endure the dips and dives that eventually catapult us to grow?

Those of us touched by divorce will say, "Geez!  Here I am!" and recognize parts of themselves in its pages.
